The AKFQuiz package lets you easily make your own
quiz games or learning exercises. These can be
used either with grquiz in a graphical environment
(SDL), with crtquiz on a text terminal, or with
diaquiz in a GUI environment. There is also a line
oriented variant, linequiz, which can be used as a
backend. A CGI-variant can be installed on a Web
server to offer exercises via the Web. A mkquiz

ASCIIMathML is a script that converts
calculator-style ASCII math notation (and many
LaTeX formulas) to Presentation MathML while your
Web page loads. It works with HTML and XHTML files
in Mozilla/Firefox/Netscape 7+ browsers, as well
as in Internet Explorer 6 with MathPlayer. For
example, the solutions for the equation
'ax^2+bx+c=0' are expressed in the HTML file as
'(-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)', and display as
nicely formatted MathML. The script can be easily
used in wikiservers and blogs, as a rudimentary
MathML editor (with instant preview), and to
preview math formulas as they are typed into a Web
page input area.
